Converge – Building a Racially Diverse Discipleship Culture

PARTNERING TOGETHER IN THE
DISCIPLING OF ALL NATIONS

CONVERGE

starting November 2021

On the 19-20 November Synergy Churches, Intercultural Churches UK, and World Horizons are coming together for CONVERGE, a unique learning community experience, held over 24 hours where we are going to meet God, learn together and engage in the big questions of our day:

• Can we be used in changing the world we inhabit?
• How do we build a racially diverse discipleship culture?

LEARNING COMMUNITIES

A Learning Community is different to a conference – it’s an opportunity to assess where we are right now, as teams, to dream about where we could be and to make plans that are opportunity for real change.

This is a pattern of accountable change-making discussions for senior leadership teams we have seen be effective in many contexts.

The cycle consists of:

1. A 24 hour time when all cohorts are together, to receive input, review our own situations and make plans for change
2. A follow-up day for each cohort to go deeper on their specific challenges, review progress and hold one another to account
3. Coaching-style input to each team in the intervening months
